Don't Hug Me I'm Scared vs The Truman Show - RAP BATTLE! - ft. Littleflecks & AdamDRB

[@DoobusGoobus]

I just realized they had it say "brown lit" instead of greenlit because green is not a creative color. Thats actually really clever.

[@JacobKealohi]

One thing I noticed is that Truman rarely ever looks directly at the camera in his first verse and looks off to the side at Red Guy instead since he doesn't know he's being filmed yet. I don't know if that was intentional but that's such an awesome detail!

[@FreddyxMonika]

And Truman not having another Truman in the background unlike Red Guy

[@missamieholly2313]

Combining the ID saying "I think he drowned" with the lore of Truman's father drowning was such a phenomenal reference to both works

Yeah because how Red Guy was supposed to die was by drowning or something right?

[@dashiethebunny]

"Oh wait, let's check your dad's ID." "Hey, I think that he might've drowned!" Both were great, but this gave Red Guy the W for me lol

I am a sucker for unconventional battles that tell a story. Hands down my favorite battle of yours this year, probably in my top 5 ever. The sets and costumes add so damn much to the already fun and, dare I say, creative audio. Isaac chewed the scenery in the best way possible, and I hope to see him show up for more. I love how Lawless appeared two times in the same shot when Truman invades the set, that's a funny detail XD

[@shasummerlin5299]

I like to think Red Guy just up and left, as he said, "Now I'm walking out, don't try to hold me hostage." And the guy in the Red Guy suit was just some replacement guy. The show must go on after all.

[@pedro64]

Did I see Yellow Guys Dad in the window at 2:25!! Didn’t catch that the first time!! Awesome attention to detail!

The way Truman in the second verse searches for the way to the crew and breaks everything, including the fourth wall, when he gets there, just brilliantly! Amazing battle!🤩

[@theinanman]

the camera in Truman’s 1st verse mimicking the way the movie is shot is absolutely brilliant i loved this battle so much from just the audio and the video did not disappoint

[@fryguy9704]

This is probably one of my favorite battle of yours. From the voices, the roasts, the behind the scenes people at the beginning, the freaking brown- lit line because green is not a creative color is all blended together perfectly.

[@alexk9642]

I love how this was less of a battle and more of the both realizing their situations

[@adamhainsworth9602]

It was so funny when Truman came onto the set and crashed the batlle

[@CharlieKraken]

I've listened to this one a ton on the album and I'm so happy to have a video version of it! Its genuinely my favorite rap battle you ever produced. To start, I'm really happy you matched the DHMIS crew with an opponent that makes thematic sense rather than just some other mascot/internet horror character. Also Red Guy's second verse is just fantastic. My favorite part is the end of it, since "Cause I'm the top dog." "He's Grolton you're Hovris" is such a good double meaning. Since Yellow Guy thinks Grolton is the dog Hovris is the man, he's affirming that Red Guy is the "top dog", but because in reality Grolton is the man and Hovris is the dog, he's also calling Truman the lesser (the dog) and Red Guy the superior (the man). Its really clever and made me smile the first time I heard it. I know I'm kind of overexplaining it but its so cool to see how far you guys have come and I wanted to thank you for doing justice to this battle concept. God bless!

[@WickDaWitch]

YES! IT’S HERE! Did not disappoint. Truman gets my vote for this battle for both “You managed to reel in an audience younger than Sesame Street’s is” and “Seems like they shut it off like they did to your show when the Queen deceased.”

[@TheWarriorVA]

Exactly.

[@kemonosworld4773]

@thexatronantch That's a reference to the Truman Show having sponsors so it's litterally as if it was in Truman's verse

Damn. Props to Isaac Moore for an amazing lipsync. It's so good that I can't really distiguish it from normal rapping. Mouth movement is great, expressions are great. Good job!

The long awaited track for this year. It is finally out. And is masterclass in every possible way! Great to everyone on the team!

[@RememberThisNamePlease]

Even if trumans dad didnt die, "Hey, I think that he mightve drowned" is still such a good reference. And the green in green lit being censored is also really good. Red guy saying "everywhere". Roy in the background at 2:25. I could go on for ages about this. I absolutely love everything about this

The Truman Show is really scary as everyone is watching one guy and his entire life being made a reality tv from birth to adulthood.

Yeah, I watching a couple weeks ago. It’s a really though provoking film not meant to be taken lightly.

[@strangecolouredbird]

They wanted him to have a kid. And they probably would've filmed the whole thing.

[@TravShark]

I love how the ending of the battle was Truman breaking and crashing the set (almost like breaking the 4th wall)

[@EirinsApprentice]

You've perfectly captured the spirit of DHMIS in that second "verse". Barely controlled chaos in the skin of a children's show.

[@jeriahweaver5215]

I swear life action battles just keep gettin better and better! This is defenitly the best one!

[@angelicwarrior118]

This may visually be your best rap battle, and it helps that this came out directly after your 100th official one. The acting was done justice, shoutout to Lawless Marshall for the puppeteer role, and the fact that my girl Stargirl got to star in this (as one of the executives to be exact) is just great. The scenery and camerawork for the entire video was done justice (especially with Truman’s second verse), and I see the visual and audible enjoyability. I remember hearing this in the Winter Collection it was part of (via JosiahGAmesTV’s reaction), and this video did not disappoint. For who I thought won, I will give it to Team Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared (consisting of mostly the Red Guy, but fully it’s to the DHMIS cast involved in the rap battle), although I see the closeness in this, which I like. Good job and I look forward to the next rap battle in the catalog.

[@BlazeOGlory25]

Every time I think you can’t outdo yourselves, you do it. This channel deserves so much more attention

[@nightshade_is_taken]

I am in awe at this one. I have not seen either of these, but holy shit this might be my new favorite battle of the year. It was already one of my favorites in general from the audio but the visuals blew me OUT OF THE WATER. The visuals are phenomenal, and the acting is phenomenal, especially on Truman's part! His movement in the first verse and his outburst at the end are amazing! Amazing work from everyone involved Dustin!

[@Freeced]

Unbelievable. I don't get a credit, why, because I skipped out on almost the entirety of this shoot to hang out with Shwabadi? And only held the camera for like a second on one day? Oh, ok, yeah makes sense. Absolutely love how this came out, the DHMIS shots are SO clean.

[@PooeyHenis]

This has genuinely blown me away. The set of DHMIS absolutely insane. It feels like a genuine Collab with the original DHMIS. The voices and the characters look amazing. Truman's lines are absolutely amazing too! This is so well done I'm so surprised. The line "Seems like they shut it off, like they did to your show when the Queen deceased" is SO GOOD!.

[@sapphirespoon1455]

Of all the new songs from the Winter Album, this one was my favorite. And oh boy the Music video did not disappoint... Both sides are represented so damn well. I'll say it again, of every rap battle featuring DHMIS... this is the best one. Because the essence of DHMIS is captured so damn well here. Not only in terms of video, but also in the audio too. Like... that whole second verse with them feels like something directly pulled out of the show/series... all the way down to the teacher that doesn't know what he's talking about. And all the subtle references to the actual series are pretty nice as well. I also love the 4th-Wall break with Truman, and the scene of him fucking up the recording session. You all definitely went all out with the meta-aspect of both and it really paid off. I also love the fact for the album-art, it looks like you took a screenshot off of the editing soft-ware you made it with. Just a cute little detail. The beat you chose for this is... also fits the Rap Battle so damn well too. Having that Old-TV feel that feels authentic for both sides. Overall, REALLY good job on this one.
